If I get these high rise mounts will it get my scope over the front post? or should I also get a riser mount as well?

This mount will work on any AR with or without a front site tower. The scope will not see the front sight assembly unless it is extremely low magnification. You do not want to be over the front sight tower as the cheek weld will be almost impossible to achieve also alignment of bore and center of optics will not allow the scope to be zeroed properly.

What kind of scope? What kind of Riffle? If you have an AR15 type with a front post you will have to go too high for a good cheek weld.

The high-rise mounts will be high enough to see over the front mount. I bought the riser blocks and didn't need them.

No, but none of the others will either. The crosshairs will be all you see from 3x and up. Only on low power will you even see the front sight. Now you may get lucky like I did, when my scope is on low power (1x to 2.5x) I can see and use the front sight post, but this is a freak bit of luck, but not guarenteed. I say get it anyway, if you feel it's too low you can buy an inexpensive riser

I think it depends on the mounts. The bolt on my 223 hit the scope so I had to get higher mounts. There might be a site like techsales@opticsplanet.com that might tell you which mounts to use.

As long as there's no front sight, as Mr. Adkins mentioned. When you put the scope on, because of the size of the rifle, you may need higher scope mounts too.

The sight will 1/3 co-witness with the irons depending on what sights you are using. I am currently using gen 2 magpul Mbps sights. The emitter in the sight is located at 5 o'clock and partially blocks the front sight so that you can see the FS post and the left blade. Personally I would buy the sight w/o the hi rise block and invest in a better mount. Daniel Defense makes a absolute co-witness riser that runs around $60 on amazon. Good luck

It sits kinda high,you would have to run low scope rings to get a good line of site.also you might want to check how it moi ts on the rifle itself cause mine was not true the mount pointed the front of my scope down using the 91/30 shi.s that co.e with the kit.I suggest spending the extra money and getting a proper mount for the rifle Russian side mount or the rock solid mount

No you will need a riser to clear front sight. Possibly a half inch riser will work.

honestly it all deppends on your optics size the larger the retical opening the tall the ring has to be so expect to have too make a couple returns to find out what you need. I would recomend going as low as posible, with the mount your allready going to have to put a build up on your stock to get correct sight picture. Just make sure you get the right ring type, wevers will not work on this rail.

I have an A1 front sight on my BCM AR15 and ordered the med. riser to mount the UTG CQB on. It worked perfectly and the scope is amazing for the price!

The rings that come with the optic. For an AR or any flat rail type system you will need the taller rings. The front of the optic will contact the rail with the low rings on a flat rail. I made the mistake of ordering the wrong one, but a quick email to vortex and they sent me the correct rings along with a prepaid return slip. Excellent customer service.

Should be high enough with this riser. It put my scope up enough to see over my AR15 front sight. It is strong but lite and easy to put on and off.

I bought a NCStar pistol or scout scope 3-7 and it came with rings. You will notice when you mount your scope with the brass stacker that the scope sits really high up compared to a regular scope mount, but it is fine for me. So I would go with the lowest rings you can use as it will still be up high. No need to make it any higher than it has to be.

Hi Bazda..I happen to like the PEPR mount by Burris but I understand your concerns. But it works for me. All you need to do is find out how high the PEPR mount is and buy the rings that match the height. I use the PEPR mount on my Bushmaster XM-15 E2S A3 which has the high front sight. The reason I chose that arrangement is the fact that the the rings have more screws that hold the scope more securely, and you don't have to lap the rings. good shooting.

This is high enough to co-witness. IMO you wouldn't want a scope to be high enough to completely look over the front sight that wouldn't offer a good check weld or shooting position. Your crosshairs will be looking through the front sight post. If you are using 3x and up magnification you most likely will not see the front sight A2 post. If that is a problem change out the A2 for a gas block with folding front sight.

The scope will be to low. Search AR scope mounts. The design of a AR flat top requires a much higher mount for proper scope to Eye alingment.

The rings will mate to a standard Picatinny or Weaver rail. They are larger in diameter than 1-inch because of the rubber cover. They mount the scope fairly low on the rail, so if you need more height, you can use a couple rail risers. I have two of these scopes and have had no problems with them. dp

It should view over the front sight post no problem. I may not be 100% positive, however in my experience I have never seen a m4 platform rifle in which this sight could not see over the front sight post.
